Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 1, Episode 8 - The Village of Guilt - full transcript
In the Fjords of a small Norwegian fishing village a small boat manned by three drunken fishermen is attacked by what appears to be a giant sea monster. When Admiral Nelson hears of this he is fascinated by it and takes the Seaview to the Norway to investigate and interview the one survivor. The villagers are not happy to see them and reluctant to talk and answer questions. Someone is so desperate to keep their silence that the survivor is murdered before he could talk. With no one willing to talk Nelson is preparing to leave when they discover evidence of giant sea life. Nelson is determined to solve this mystery.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
[Man On Radio] AND FROM DEEP
IN THE MISTY FJORDS OF NORWAY,
IN THE LITTLE VILLAGE OF TANA,
A BRUISED AND BATTERED FISHERMAN
BABBLES OF GIGANTIC SEA MONSTERS.
THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE ATTACK HAS
COME OUT OF HIS COMA LONG ENOUGH...
TO TELL HOW THE MONSTER ENVELOPED
HIS BOAT, CRUSHED IT LIKE AN EGGSHELL...
AND DEVOURED HIS TWO COMPANIONS.
AUTHORITIES IN OSLO ARE OPENLY SKEPTICAL
OF ALL STORIES ABOUT SEA MONSTERS...
BUT STATE THAT AN INVESTIGATION INTO
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TWO FISHERMEN...
IS NOW UNDER WAY.
ELSEWHERE IN THE NEWS
TODAY... [Shuts Off Radio]
YOU BELIEVE IT? SEA MONSTERS?
EVEN IF I SAW ONE I WOULDN'T
BELIEVE IT. A TRUE SKEPTIC, HUH?
- DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
- IT'S POSSIBLE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SEA MONSTERS
DO EXIST AT EXTREME OCEAN DEPTHS.
FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THEM ARE
MORE THAN SIX OR SEVEN INCHES IN SIZE.
- OH, WELL...
- NOW DON'T DISMISS IT
SO CASUALLY.
THERE ARE DEPTHS WE'VE NEVER REACHED. NOW
WHO'S TO SAY WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?
AND WE'LL NEVER FIND OUT IF MEN
CLOSE THEIR MIND TO THE IMPROBABLE...
JUST BECAUSE IT IS IMPROBABLE.
I'VE GOT SOME WORK TO CATCH
UP ON. I'LL SEE YOU AT LUNCH.
WELL, THAT SHOULD TAKE
CARE OF YOU. OH, NOT ME.
I'M A FIRM BELIEVER
IN SEA MONSTERS.
BE WITH YOU IN A
MINUTE. NO HURRY, SIR.
[Morton On Speaker] ADMIRAL, THERE'S A
FURTHER RADIO REPORT ON THE SEA MONSTER.
THANK YOU, CHIP. PIPE IT IN.
[Man On Radio] THE
SURVIVOR, JOHAN ROLVAAG,
DESCRIBES THE MONSTER
AS A SNAKELIKE GIANT...
WITH MOTTLED
YELLOW-AND-BLACK SCALES...
AND CIRCULAR SUCTION
CUPS ALONG ITS BODY.
THE ATTENDING
PHYSICIAN REPORTS...
THAT ROLVAAG'S BODY IS A MASS
OF CIRCULAR WELTS AND HOLES.
KILL IT, CHIP. [Radio Shuts Off]
CEPHALOPOD! I BEG YOUR PARDON?
A SNAKELIKE AFFAIR WITH
MOTTLED YELLOW-AND-BLACK SCALES,
CIRCULAR CUPS ALONG THE BODY.
THAT'S A FAIR DESCRIPTION OF AN APPENDAGE
OF THE CEPHALOPOD ORDER OCTOPODA.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH,
LEE, AN OCTOPUS.
AN OCTOPUS IN THOSE WATERS
AND THAT SIZE? IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE,
BUT THE DESCRIPTION FITS.
BUT I'VE CAUGHT AN OCTOPUS ON MORE
THAN ONE OCCASION. THEY'RE SMALL AND SHY.
TRUE, BUT IF ONE REACHED THE
SIZE THAT POOR FISHERMAN SAYS,
IT COULD GIVE ANYTHING AFLOAT A
RUN FOR ITS MONEY... AND I MEAN A RUN.
- YOU MAKE IT SOUND AS THOUGH
IT REALLY EXISTS.
- IF THE STORY IS TRUE,
THE POSSIBILITIES FOR SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH ARE FANTASTIC.
LEE, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
TO SET A COURSE FOR TANA?
- ABOUT THREE MINUTES.
- SET IT.
AYE, SIR.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. SET
COURSE A-24. [On Speaker] AYE, SIR!
TAKE HER DOWN,
MR. MORTON. AYE, AYE, SIR.
MR. O'BRIEN, PREPARE TO
DIVE. [O'Brien On Speaker] AYE, AYE.
CLEAR THE DECK! MAKE
IT 90 FEET, MR. MORTON.

ADMIRAL NELSON? THAT'S RIGHT.
HOW DO YOU DO? I'M MARIS OF
THE CONSOLIDATED NEWS SERVICE.
WELL, IF YOU'VE COME TO SEE THE
SURVIVOR, YOUR TIMING IS EXCELLENT.
THE DOCTOR PROMISED US
WE COULD SEE ROLVAAG TODAY.
LOOKS AS IF HE'S
GOING TO PULL THROUGH.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
SEA MONSTER STORY, ADMIRAL?
- I'LL TELL YOU AFTER...
I TALK WITH ROLVAAG.
WHERE'S EVERYBODY GONE?
[Reporter] WELL, THE VILLAGERS
HAVEN'T BEEN VERY FRIENDLY.
WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT
THE SEA MONSTER? NOTHING.
THEY'RE VERY SUPERSTITIOUS
ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.
- WHY DON'T WE GO TALK
WITH ROLVAAG?
- CERTAINLY.
MAY I SHOW YOU THE WAY?
[Screaming]
[Muffled Groans]
[Knocking]
- GOOD DAY.
- DR. ANDERSON TOLD YOU
HE WILL CALL...
WHEN YOU CAN SEE MR. ROLVAAG.
YES, I KNOW, BUT YOU SEE...
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO THE DOCTOR BEFORE
THAT, IF POSSIBLE. I'M ADMIRAL NELSON.
[Man] WON'T YOU PLEASE COME IN?
ADMIRAL, I AM DR. ANDERSON.
I'VE ENJOYED MANY OF YOUR
STIMULATING ARTICLES. THANK YOU.
THIS IS MY CAPTAIN, LEE
CRANE. HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU DO? ROLVAAG
IS STILL UNDER SEDATION.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
ROLVAAG?
HE'S DEAD.
♪♪ [Concertina:
Polka] [Chattering]
♪♪ [Stops] [Chattering Stops]
FRIENDLY, AREN'T THEY?
MAY WE SIT DOWN? I
WAS EXPECTING FRIENDS.
WE WON'T STAY LONG. I'M
SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE RUDE.
PLEASE SIT DOWN.
WHAT DO THEY THINK WE'RE
TRYING TO DO TO THEM?
OH, THEY'RE FISHERMEN
AND SUPERSTITIOUS.
YOUR SUBMARINE IN
THE FJORD IS AN ILL OMEN.
YOUR ORDER, GENTLEMEN?
ALE. THE SAME.
WE'RE ALL QUITE SHOCKED
BY YOUR PATIENT'S DEATH.
HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN THAT? I CAN'T.
I'M REALLY NOT A
NURSE, YOU KNOW.
I'M A SCHOOLTEACHER HERE IN TOWN,
AND I WAS JUST HELPING DR. ANDERSON OUT.
OH, BY THE WAY, HE
SAID TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
HE LEFT THIS EVENING
WITH THE REPORTERS.
THE REPORTERS ARE GONE?
ONCE THE ONLY EYEWITNESS
DIED, THEY HAD NO STORY.
- YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES LEFT.
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE DOCTOR?
DID HE SAY ANY MORE ABOUT
THE CAUSE OF ROLVAAG'S DEATH?
NO. ONLY THAT HE DIED FROM THE SEVERE
INJURIES HE RECEIVED IN THE ACCIDENT.
- IS THE WORD "ACCIDENT"
HIS OR YOURS?
- MINE.
THEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE
IT WAS A SEA MONSTER?
THREE HALF-DRUNKEN MEN
IN A BROKEN-DOWN BOAT...
TRYING TO FIND THEIR
WAY HOME FROM A PARTY?
I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE
COULD TAKE ROLVAAG'S STORY SERIOUSLY.
IT'S POSSIBLE. YOU SEE, IF
WE COULD FIND THE BOAT,
WE'D KNOW IF THERE WAS
ANY TRUTH TO THE STORY.
LOOKING FOR THE BOAT
IN THE TRONDER FJORD...
WOULD BE LIKE LOOKING FOR
A NEEDLE IN THE NORTH SEA.
IT'S OVER TWO MILES
DEEP IN PLACES, YOU KNOW.
WELL, YOU DON'T MIND IF WE
TAKE A LOOK? I'M A STUBBORN MAN.
IT'S BEEN VERY PLEASANT TALKING
WITH YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
[Chattering]
CAN'T FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.
SOMEHOW, I GET THE CLEAR
AND DISTINCT FEELING...
THAT SHE'S JUST AS ANXIOUS TO
GET RID OF US AS THE REST OF THEM.
I ALSO HAVE THE FEELING THAT THERE'S
MORE TO IT THAN HER SIMPLE EXPLANATION.
IT IS SAFE NOW. WE CAN GO IN.
NO SIGN OF ANYTHING.
THEY'RE STARTING TO RETRACE.
NO SIGN OF ANYTHING
YET, SIR. THEY'VE
COMPLETED THE ARC AND
ARE STARTING TO RETRACE.
CALL IN THE MINI-SUB.
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
CHIEF, TELL 'EM TO
RETURN. AYE, SIR.
OUR SCHOOLTEACHER WAS RIGHT. TRYING
TO FIND A BOAT IN THE TRONDER FJORD...
IS LIKE TRYING TO FIND
IT IN THE NORTH SEA.
WHAT DO WE DO NOW? MM,
HEAD FOR HOME, I SUPPOSE.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO
GET UNDER WAY? ABOUT AN HOUR.
ALL RIGHT. CARRY ON.
[On Speaker] CAPTAIN, THIS IS SONAR.
PICKING UP SOME ODD SOUNDS.
HOW DO YOU READ IT?
LONG-SCALE PINGING.
3,000 YARDS, BEARING
2-7-5, RELATIVE.
ANOTHER SUBMARINE?
IT'S POSSIBLE.
DO YOU READ PROPELLERS?
NO, SIR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
RAISE YOUR GAIN TO FULL
AND FEED IT INTO THE MIKE.
PIPE SONAR DOWN HERE.
[Deep-pitched Hum] HOW
DO YOU READ IT, LEE?
YOU BEAT ME TO IT. I WAS GONNA
ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION.
GET CURLEY UP HERE.
CHIEF JONES, LAY FORWARD
TO THE NOSE ON THE DOUBLE.
CURLEY'S A HUMAN SONAR.
IF HE CAN'T IDENTIFY IT,
THEN THE MACHINE
MUST BE HAVING A FIT.
[On Speaker] RANGE CLOSING, SIR.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S COMING CLOSER.
YES, SIR. HOW DO YOU
READ THIS, CURLEY?
[Deep-pitched Hum] THAT'S A
NEW ONE ON ME, CAPTAIN.
CLOSEST THING TO
WHALES I'VE EVER HEARD.
[Laughing] WHALES? WELL,
TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE WHALES.
FIRST SEA MONSTERS, NOW
WHALES. THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW...
[Loud Rattling]
SOUND GENERAL QUARTERS! [On Speaker]

NO MOTORS, CAPTAIN,
TORPEDOES, NO NOTHIN'.
LEE, WE BETTER MOVE
OUT OF HERE. AYE, SIR.
HOLY COW! LOOK AT THAT.
- WHAT ARE THEY?
- [Scoffs] WHO'D EVER BELIEVE IT?
LEE, DID YOU EVER HOOK A
CATFISH WHEN YOU WERE A KID?
[Crane] THOSE ARE
CATFISH? [Curley] WOW.
LET'S TAKE A LONG LOOK
AROUND HERE. AYE, SIR.
MR. MORTON, TAKE
HER UP. [Morton] AYE, SIR.
ADMIRAL, HOW IN THE WORLD
CAN CATFISH GROW THAT BIG?
WE'VE GOT TO FIND THE
ANSWER TO THAT ONE.
[Speaking Norwegian] HELLO.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME ABOARD?
[Speaking Norwegian]
[Speaking Norwegian]
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, YOUNG FELLA,
SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME?
[Speaking Norwegian]
OH, GARTERN, ASK HIM IF HE'S
EVER SEEN THE SEA MONSTER.
[Speaking Norwegian]
- ASK HIM IF HE KNOWS
ANYONE WHO HAS.
- [Speaking Norwegian]
DOES HE KNOW WHAT PART
OF THE TRONDER FJORD...
THE MEN WERE CROSSING
WHEN THEY WERE ATTACKED?
[Speaking Norwegian]
HE SAYS THE MONSTER DIDN'T
ATTACK THEM IN THE TRONDER FJORD.
IT WAS THE FORBIDDEN AREA,
LUDER FJORD. LUDER FJORD?
WE COULD HAVE LOOKED FOREVER
AND NEVER FOUND IT. [Man Yelling]
[Speaking Norwegian]
THEY DELIBERATELY STEERED US TO THE
WRONG PLACE. WHAT ARE THEY TRYIN' TO HIDE?
THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
HEAD FOR THE LUDER FJORD. AYE, SIR.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
OUT THERE IN LUDER
FJORD, SO STAY ALERT,
BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
LET'S GO.
[Air Hissing]
ALL SECURE. [Man On
Speaker] ALL SECURE.
TAKE THIS.
SEEMS TO BE PART OF
SOME KIND OF SEA ANIMAL.
WE HACKED OFF THIS PIECE, BUT
THE REST WAS TOO LARGE TO BRING IN.
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT NOW, GENTLEMEN.
DO YOU THINK IT'S PART OF A
SEA MONSTER? A SMALL PART.
A VERY, VERY, SMALL PART.
THEY MUST HAVE FOUND THE DORY...
RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES ALL THIS TIME.
YOU SUPPOSE THEY ALSO FOUND
THE TENTACLE THAT WAS HACKED OFF?
WHAT CAN THEY PROVE? NO
ONE IN THE VILLAGE WILL TALK.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT
BOY, THEY'D BE GONE BY NOW.
I WAS VERY FOOLISH
TO LET IT GO THIS FAR.
WE MUST STOP THE
EXPERIMENTS. YES, LARS, PLEASE.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S
NOT AS EASY AS THAT.
[Older Man] BUT THREE
MEN KILLED! WE MUST STOP.
[Woman] BEFORE THERE ARE MORE
DEATHS. [Lars] THERE WILL BE NO MORE.
THE FISHERMEN ARE
FRIGHTENED OF LUDER FJORD.
THEY WON'T GO NEAR
IT. THREE MEN DID.
THEY DIED. THREE
DRUNKEN FISHERMEN...
GOING SOMEPLACE THEY
HAD NO BUSINESS TO GO.
IS IT OUR FAULT THEY
IGNORED OUR WARNINGS?
THE AUTHORITIES WILL
NOT LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.
THE AUTHORITIES WILL NEVER KNOW.
EVERY FISHERMAN IN
THE VILLAGE KNOWS.
THEY WON'T TALK. WE PAY
THEM WELL FOR THEIR HELP.
- THEY SHARE IN THE GUILT
OF THESE DEATHS.
- LARS, PLEASE.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING
I'M ASHAMED OF!
WE ARE MAKING A GREAT
CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE.
ARE WE TO THROW IT AWAY JUST
BECAUSE OF SOME IDIOTIC ACCIDENT?
THESE EXPERIMENTS MADE SENSE
IN THE BEGINNING, BUT NOT ANYMORE.
THIS MONSTER MUST BE DESTROYED,
OR I'LL GO TO THE POLICE.
SO.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? WILL
YOU GO TO THE POLICE TOO?
YOU ARE MY HUSBAND.
I WILL DESTROY IT... AFTER
MY WORK IS COMPLETED,
NOT BEFORE.
LARS IS RIGHT. THE
FISHERMEN ARE FRIGHTENED.
I'VE HEARD THEM TALKING.
OH, UNCLE, I LOVE YOU. I
FEEL EVERYTHING YOU FEEL.
PLEASE DON'T GO TO THE POLICE.
HE IS MY HUSBAND.
ALL RIGHT. I WON'T TELL.
SIT DOWN, GENTLEMEN. SIT DOWN.
WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IS SO
FANTASTIC, I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT MYSELF,
BUT I'VE TESTED AND RETESTED
AND THE RESULTS ARE INDISPUTABLE.
THIS VILE CONTAINS A DERIVATIVE
OF PITUITARY GONADOTROPIN...
EXTRACTED FROM THE TENTACLE
YOU FOUND IN THE FJORD.
IT'S A MANUFACTURED PRODUCT...
USED MAINLY TO PROMOTE
THE GROWTH OF CELLS,
SO, IT'S MORE THAN
POSSIBLE THAT OUR MONSTER
IS THE RESULT OF
SOMEONE'S EXPERIMENTATION.
[On Speaker] CAPTAIN,
WASHINGTON COMING THROUGH.
DR. THOMPSON. EXCUSE ME.
CRANE SPEAKING. OH, YES, DOCTOR.
GOOD.
YES.
VERY GOOD, DOCTOR.
YES. THANK YOU.
SEAVIEW OUT. [Hangs Up Receiver]
THAT'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR
QUESTION ABOUT ANY SUBSCRIBERS...
TO SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS
IN THIS VICINITY.
THERE'S ONE LIVING
RIGHT HERE IN TANA.
- OSKAR DALGREN.
- OSKAR DALGREN. I KNOW THE NAME.
HE HAS TO BE AN OLD MAN NOW. HE
WAS PRETTY IMPORTANT AT ONE TIME.
HE DISAPPEARED, I THINK,
ABOUT, UH, TEN YEARS AGO.
WHAT'S HE DOING IN
THIS FORSAKEN SPOT?
WE'LL SOON FIND OUT. LET'S SEE.
DALGREN... OSKAR
DALGREN. YEAH. HERE WE ARE.
DALGREN'S LAST PAPER TO
THE ROYAL SCIENCE ACADEMY...
WAS ON THE GERMINATION AND
CROSSBREEDING OF MARINE LIFE.
HE AND A MAN NAMED "LARS MATTSON"
ACTUALLY MADE SOME EXPERIMENTS.
HIS THESIS WAS THAT
UNDER PROPER BREEDING,
THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH SEA LIFE TO FEED
THE ENTIRE WORLD AT AN INFINITESIMAL COST.
THAT'S A PRETTY ADMIRABLE THESIS, BUT
HOW DOES IT TIE IN WITH THE SEA MONSTER?
I'M BEGINNING TO GET A VAGUE IDEA, IF
WE FIND DALGREN, WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER.
OSKAR DALGREN.
DALGREN? OSKAR DALGREN?
I KNOW NO ONE BY
THAT NAME IN TOWN.
WE HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT HE DOES
LIVE HERE. YOU MIGHT AS WELL TELL US...
BECAUSE WE'LL FIND
OUT EVENTUALLY.
YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN, GENTLEMEN.
THERE IS NO ONE BY THAT NAME IN TANA.
[Nelson] ALL RIGHT. HAVE
IT YOUR WAY, MY FRIEND,
BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE
HIM, TELL HIM I'M LOOKING FOR HIM...
AND THAT I KNOW ALL
ABOUT HIS EXPERIMENTS.
[Man Speaking Norwegian]
[Speaking Norwegian]
THAT WAS A WILD SHOT. I KNOW,
BUT IF IT ISN'T TRUE,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF IT IS, IT SHOULD START
THINGS MOVING PRETTY FAST.
DALGREN PICKED A COZY
HIDEAWAY ALL RIGHT.
A MAN COULD DISAPPEAR
FOREVER UP HERE.
ARE YOU PRETTY SURE HE'S HERE
IN TANA AND STILL EXPERIMENTING?
WELL, A SCIENTIST LIKE
DALGREN DOESN'T VEGETATE.
THERE'S AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE
THAT KEEPS DRIVING MEN LIKE HIM.
I'VE GOT AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE
TO GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW...
AND JUMP INTO A TALL, HOT DRINK.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, LEE?
[Exhales] THAT WAS TOO
CLOSE FOR COMFORT.
GET AN AWFUL
HEADACHE FROM THAT ONE.
SOMEONE HAD JUST THAT IN MIND.
[Gunshot]
YOU SURE FLUSHED A LOT
OF ACTION OUT IN THAT PUB.
THAT WASN'T QUITE WHAT I
WAS THINKING OF. [Gunshot]
NOW LOOK, WE'RE SITTING
DUCKS HERE, ADMIRAL.
I'M GONNA SCOUT AROUND HERE
AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
THERE'S PLENTY OF COVER THAT
WAY. NOW DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.
OKAY.
- DALGREN!
- [Gunshot]
[Grunting]
HE'S ALL YOURS, ADMIRAL.
WHO SENT YOU? DALGREN?
NO! I KNOW NO DALGREN.
WHY WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL US?
ANSWER THE QUESTION. WHY
WERE YOU SHOOTING AT US?
A MAN HIRED ME... A STRANGER.
HE TOLD ME TO FRIGHTEN YOU AWAY.
FRIGHTEN US? YOU
ALMOST MURDERED US.
I'M A CRACK SHOT. I
SAY ONLY FRIGHTEN.
I DO NOT KILL.
WE WON'T GET ANY
MORE OUT OF HIM, LEE.
MAYBE THE AUTHORITIES
WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK...
LET HIM GO, LEE!
[Sighs] WELL, NOW WHAT?
WELL, WE'VE COUNTERED THEIR FIRST
MOVE. LET'S SEE WHAT THEY TRY NEXT.
COME ON.
[Growling]
[Mouths Word]
YOU TAKE LOTS OF CHANCES
GOING DOWN THERE THAT WAY.
I RATHER ENJOY IT.
BESIDES, MY CHILD MUST BE FED.
I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD BE MORE
CAREFUL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
SIGRID.
ADMIRAL NELSON KNOWS ABOUT MY
UNCLE AND THE EXPERIMENTS, LARS.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
DOES YOUR UNCLE KNOW? NO.
GOOD. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT
ADMIRAL NELSON FOUND OUT,
BUT AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE TWO OF
THEM APART, WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
ADMIRAL NELSON WILL
BE OUT OF HERE IN A WEEK.
I GIVE YOU MY WORD.
DEAR SIGRID, IT WON'T BE TOO MUCH
LONGER... JUST A FEW MORE MONTHS.
YOU'LL AGREE IT WAS WORTH IT.
YOU WON'T BE SORRY. I PROMISE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M COLD. I...
I HAVE NO FEELING. I'M SHRIVELED
INSIDE. DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
SIGRID, I TOLD YOU. I'VE DONE
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.
I EXPLAINED ALL THAT.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?
WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT? FROM ROLVAAG'S BED.
LARS, YOU KILLED HIM.
I COULDN'T TAKE A CHANCE. I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE KNEW OR SAW.
I HAD TO DO IT.
NOTHING IS GOING TO
STAND IN MY WAY. NOTHING.
AND NO ONE. I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
SIGRID, THIS HASN'T
BEEN EASY FOR ME,
BUT I CAN'T JUST THROW
AWAY YEARS OF WORK.
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
I'LL TRY.
IF DALGREN EVER FINDS
OUT ABOUT ROLVAAG...
SIR.

Speaker] ALL SECURE.

ALL SECURE? [On
Speaker] ALL SECURE.
THAT'S JUST A
SPRING-WOUND TIMER, SKIPPER.
THAT'S NO BOMB. THAT DIVER
MUST HAVE BEEN OUT OF HIS MIND.
WHERE'S THE ADMIRAL?
WELL, HE TOOK OFF AFTER HIM.
NOW WHY WOULD A GUY PUT A
STUPID THING LIKE THIS ON OUR HULL?
I THINK IT'S A TRAP, CURLEY. IF IT IS,
THE ADMIRAL'S SWIMMING RIGHT INTO IT.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
ALL AVAILABLE DIVERS REPORT TO
THE MISSILE ROOM ON THE DOUBLE.
[Lars] COME IN, ADMIRAL. COME
IN. WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
PUT THE GUN AWAY.
COME IN, PLEASE. YOU
ARE MOST WELCOME, SIR.
I AM LARS MATTSON. AH,
YES. DALGREN'S ASSISTANT.
FORMER ASSISTANT, MY
DEAR ADMIRAL NELSON.
YOU MIGHT SAY THE PUPIL
HAS OUTSTRIPPED THE MASTER.
AND THIS IS MY
ASSISTANT, OTTO HASSLER.
UH, HE WAS THE BAIT
THAT LED YOU HERE.
YOU'RE QUITE A PSYCHOLOGIST.
I FELT SURE ANY FELLOW SCIENTIST
WOULD BE FASCINATED WITH MY LABORATORY.
HERE.
HERE. I'VE CROSSBRED
ONE OF THE CYPRINIDAE...
A FISH OF IMPORTANCE TO HUMAN BEINGS
BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY GIVES THEM FOOD,
BUT IS THE SOURCE FOR
CERTAIN RARE CHEMICALS.
NOW, CROSSING HIM WITH
ONE OF THE PYGOCENTRUS
VARIETIES... A GREAT
FIGHTING FISH...
I HAVE MADE HIM MORE THAN A MATCH
FOR THOSE WHO WOULD DEVOUR HIM.
THAT'S VERY
INTERESTING. BASIC. SIMPLE.
IN A FEW MONTHS...
WEEKS, EVEN...
I WILL HAVE THE ANSWER
TO MARINE-LIFE GROWTH.
I WILL LITERALLY BE ABLE TO CREATE
ANY FORM OF LIFE TO ANY SIZE I DESIRE.
SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN WORKING
ON THAT THEORY FOR YEARS.
IT WILL BE QUITE AN
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
IT WILL BE THE GREATEST STEP
FORWARD IN MARINE BIOLOGY.
MY NAME WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!
YOU KEEP REFERRING TO
YOUR NAME, YOUR WORK.
HOW DOES OSKAR
DALGREN FIT INTO ALL THIS?
OSKAR DALGREN...
IS A GOOD SCIENTIST,
BUT HE IS AN OLD MAN,
A-A TORTOISE... TOO BAD.
BUT YOU WILL GIVE HIM
CREDIT FOR WHAT HE'S DONE.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT
IS ALL MINE, ADMIRAL.
WHAT I DID I DID WITH MY
OWN BRAIN AND NO ONE ELSE'S.
I SUPPOSE IT'S HARD FOR A MAN IN
YOUR POSITION TO UNDERSTAND...
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN THE SHADOW
OF SOMEONE ELSE'S GREATNESS,
TO SEE HIM GET THE ACCLAIM
THAT SHOULD BE YOURS.
OSKAR DALGREN DID
THAT TO ME FOR YEARS.
YOU'VE YET TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR SEA FREAK.
NOW YOU BRING ME TO THE
CRUX OF WHY I WANTED YOU HERE.
I WANTED NOT ONLY TO
SHOW YOU MY CREATIONS,
I WANTED YOU ACTUALLY
TO BE A PART OF THEM.
THE SEAVIEW IS YOUR
CREATION, ADMIRAL.
THE "SEA FREAK," AS YOU
CHOOSE TO CALL IT, IS MINE.
I HAVE NEVER HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY...
OF TESTING ITS RESISTANCES
AGAINST MODERN WEAPONS.
THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SUBMARINE IN
THE FJORD GIVES ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.
YOU'RE GAMBLING WITH THE LIVES
OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED MEN.
I REGRET THAT, ADMIRAL, BUT
EVENTUALLY MILLIONS WILL BENEFIT.
I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO
COME HERE, ADMIRAL.
YOUR PRESENCE HERE ENDANGERS MY
WORK. NOW YOU LEAVE ME NO ALTERNATIVE.
THE SUBMARINE IS DIVING.
AH. TO LOOK FOR YOU
UNDOUBTEDLY, ADMIRAL.
NOW YOU COME WITH ME.
I WILL SHOW YOU SOMETHING
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.
[Knocking]
SIGRID! ADMIRAL, I'M SORRY.
THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SORRY FOR.
I'M TAKING THE
ADMIRAL DOWN BELOW...
TO SEE MY CREATION.
YOUR MONSTER.
I'M LETTING IT OUT OF ITS CAVE.
OH, NO. OH, YES. YES.
WITH THE ADMIRAL'S
SUBMARINE IN THE FJORD,
IT SHOULD BE A MOST
ENLIGHTENING EXPERIMENT.
YOU MUST BE COMPLETELY INSANE.
YOU MURDERED ROLVAAG. YOU
SMOTHERED HIM IN HIS SLEEP.
SO... YOU TOLD HIM.
YOU NEVER TRIED TO UNDERSTAND.
NO MATTER. HAVE THEM FOLLOW
ME DOWN BELOW... AND WATCH THEM.
COME ON. MOVE.
MOVE. WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO WITH US?
I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS.
THEY'LL NEVER LET US OUT OF HERE.
YOU MANIAC! [Gagging]
[Gunshot]
LARS! I CAN'T LET
YOU DO THIS, LARS.
MOVE AWAY FROM THE LEVER.
I DON'T WANT TO SHOOT YOU.
LARS!
- STOP! STOP!

THE GATE'S OPEN.
THE MONSTER IS FREE.

CAPTAIN, THIS IS SONAR. WE'RE PICKING
UP SOMETHING CLOSE... REAL CLOSE.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
[Man On Radio] AND FROM DEEP
IN THE MISTY FJORDS OF NORWAY,
IN THE LITTLE VILLAGE OF TANA,
A BRUISED AND BATTERED FISHERMAN
BABBLES OF GIGANTIC SEA MONSTERS.
THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE ATTACK HAS
COME OUT OF HIS COMA LONG ENOUGH...
TO TELL HOW THE MONSTER ENVELOPED
HIS BOAT, CRUSHED IT LIKE AN EGGSHELL...
AND DEVOURED HIS TWO COMPANIONS.
AUTHORITIES IN OSLO ARE OPENLY SKEPTICAL
OF ALL STORIES ABOUT SEA MONSTERS...
BUT STATE THAT AN INVESTIGATION INTO
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TWO FISHERMEN...
IS NOW UNDER WAY.
ELSEWHERE IN THE NEWS
TODAY... [Shuts Off Radio]
YOU BELIEVE IT? SEA MONSTERS?
EVEN IF I SAW ONE I WOULDN'T
BELIEVE IT. A TRUE SKEPTIC, HUH?
- DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
- IT'S POSSIBLE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SEA MONSTERS
DO EXIST AT EXTREME OCEAN DEPTHS.
FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THEM ARE
MORE THAN SIX OR SEVEN INCHES IN SIZE.
- OH, WELL...
- NOW DON'T DISMISS IT
SO CASUALLY.
THERE ARE DEPTHS WE'VE NEVER REACHED. NOW
WHO'S TO SAY WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?
AND WE'LL NEVER FIND OUT IF MEN
CLOSE THEIR MIND TO THE IMPROBABLE...
JUST BECAUSE IT IS IMPROBABLE.
I'VE GOT SOME WORK TO CATCH
UP ON. I'LL SEE YOU AT LUNCH.
WELL, THAT SHOULD TAKE
CARE OF YOU. OH, NOT ME.
I'M A FIRM BELIEVER
IN SEA MONSTERS.
BE WITH YOU IN A
MINUTE. NO HURRY, SIR.
[Morton On Speaker] ADMIRAL, THERE'S A
FURTHER RADIO REPORT ON THE SEA MONSTER.
THANK YOU, CHIP. PIPE IT IN.
[Man On Radio] THE
SURVIVOR, JOHAN ROLVAAG,
DESCRIBES THE MONSTER
AS A SNAKELIKE GIANT...
WITH MOTTLED
YELLOW-AND-BLACK SCALES...
AND CIRCULAR SUCTION
CUPS ALONG ITS BODY.
THE ATTENDING
PHYSICIAN REPORTS...
THAT ROLVAAG'S BODY IS A MASS
OF CIRCULAR WELTS AND HOLES.
KILL IT, CHIP. [Radio Shuts Off]
CEPHALOPOD! I BEG YOUR PARDON?
A SNAKELIKE AFFAIR WITH
MOTTLED YELLOW-AND-BLACK SCALES,
CIRCULAR CUPS ALONG THE BODY.
THAT'S A FAIR DESCRIPTION OF AN APPENDAGE
OF THE CEPHALOPOD ORDER OCTOPODA.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH,
LEE, AN OCTOPUS.
AN OCTOPUS IN THOSE WATERS
AND THAT SIZE? IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE,
BUT THE DESCRIPTION FITS.
BUT I'VE CAUGHT AN OCTOPUS ON MORE
THAN ONE OCCASION. THEY'RE SMALL AND SHY.
TRUE, BUT IF ONE REACHED THE
SIZE THAT POOR FISHERMAN SAYS,
IT COULD GIVE ANYTHING AFLOAT A
RUN FOR ITS MONEY... AND I MEAN A RUN.
- YOU MAKE IT SOUND AS THOUGH
IT REALLY EXISTS.
- IF THE STORY IS TRUE,
THE POSSIBILITIES FOR SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH ARE FANTASTIC.
LEE, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
TO SET A COURSE FOR TANA?
- ABOUT THREE MINUTES.
- SET IT.
AYE, SIR.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. SET

WE COULD SEE ROLVAAG TODAY.
LOOKS AS IF HE'S
GOING TO PULL THROUGH.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
SEA MONSTER STORY, ADMIRAL?
- I'LL TELL YOU AFTER...
I TALK WITH ROLVAAG.
WHERE'S EVERYBODY GONE?
[Reporter] WELL, THE VILLAGERS
HAVEN'T BEEN VERY FRIENDLY.
WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT
THE SEA MONSTER? NOTHING.
THEY'RE VERY SUPERSTITIOUS

WHAT DO THEY THINK WE'RE
TRYING TO DO TO THEM?
OH, THEY'RE FISHERMEN
AND SUPERSTITIOUS.
YOUR SUBMARINE IN
THE FJORD IS AN ILL OMEN.

ALE. THE SAME.
WE'RE ALL QUITE SHOCKED
BY YOUR PATIENT'S DEATH.
HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN THAT? I CAN'T.
I'M REALLY NOT A

I'M A SCHOOLTEACHER HERE IN TOWN,
AND I WAS JUST HELPING DR. ANDERSON OUT.
OH, BY THE WAY, HE
SAID TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
HE LEFT THIS EVENING
WITH THE REPORTERS.
THE REPORTERS ARE GONE?
ONCE THE ONLY EYEWITNESS
DIED, THEY HAD NO STORY.
- YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES LEFT.
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE DOCTOR?
DID HE SAY ANY MORE ABOUT
THE CAUSE OF ROLVAAG'S DEATH?
NO. ONLY THAT HE DIED FROM THE SEVERE
INJURIES HE RECEIVED IN THE ACCIDENT.
- IS THE WORD "ACCIDENT"
HIS OR YOURS?
- MINE.
THEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE
IT WAS A SEA MONSTER?
THREE HALF-DRUNKEN MEN
IN A BROKEN-DOWN BOAT...

WAY HOME FROM A PARTY?
I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE
COULD TAKE ROLVAAG'S STORY SERIOUSLY.
IT'S POSSIBLE. YOU SEE, IF
WE COULD FIND THE BOAT,
WE'D KNOW IF THERE WAS
ANY TRUTH TO THE STORY.
LOOKING FOR THE BOAT
IN THE TRONDER FJORD...
WOULD BE LIKE LOOKING FOR
A NEEDLE IN THE NORTH SEA.

TAKE A LOOK? I'M A STUBBORN MAN.
IT'S BEEN VERY PLEASANT TALKING

CAN'T FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.
SOMEHOW, I GET THE CLEAR

THAT SHE'S JUST AS ANXIOUS TO

I ALSO HAVE THE FEELING THAT THERE'S
MORE TO IT THAN HER SIMPLE EXPLANATION.
IT IS SAFE NOW. WE CAN GO IN.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST

OH, GARTERN, ASK HIM IF HE'S
EVER SEEN THE SEA MONSTER.

- ASK HIM IF HE KNOWS
ANYONE WHO HAS.
- [Speaking Norwegian]
DOES HE KNOW WHAT PART
OF THE TRONDER FJORD...
THE MEN WERE CROSSING
WHEN THEY WERE ATTACKED?
[Speaking Norwegian]
HE SAYS THE MONSTER DIDN'T
ATTACK THEM IN THE TRONDER FJORD.
IT WAS THE FORBIDDEN AREA,
LUDER FJORD. LUDER FJORD?
WE COULD HAVE LOOKED FOREVER
AND NEVER FOUND IT. [Man Yelling]
[Speaking Norwegian]
THEY DELIBERATELY STEERED US TO THE
WRONG PLACE. WHAT ARE THEY TRYIN' TO HIDE?
THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
HEAD FOR THE LUDER FJORD. AYE, SIR.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
OUT THERE IN LUDER
FJORD, SO STAY ALERT,
BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
LET'S GO.
[Air Hissing]
ALL SECURE. [Man On
Speaker] ALL SECURE.
TAKE THIS.
SEEMS TO BE PART OF
SOME KIND OF SEA ANIMAL.
WE HACKED OFF THIS PIECE, BUT
THE REST WAS TOO LARGE TO BRING IN.
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT NOW, GENTLEMEN.
DO YOU THINK IT'S PART OF A
SEA MONSTER? A SMALL PART.
A VERY, VERY, SMALL PART.
THEY MUST HAVE FOUND THE DORY...
RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES ALL THIS TIME.
YOU SUPPOSE THEY ALSO FOUND
THE TENTACLE THAT WAS HACKED OFF?
WHAT CAN THEY PROVE? NO
ONE IN THE VILLAGE WILL TALK.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT
BOY, THEY'D BE GONE BY NOW.
I WAS VERY FOOLISH
TO LET IT GO THIS FAR.
WE MUST STOP THE
EXPERIMENTS. YES, LARS, PLEASE.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S
NOT AS EASY AS THAT.
[Older Man] BUT THREE
MEN KILLED! WE MUST STOP.
[Woman] BEFORE THERE ARE MORE
DEATHS. [Lars] THERE WILL BE NO MORE.
THE FISHERMEN ARE
FRIGHTENED OF LUDER FJORD.
THEY WON'T GO NEAR
IT. THREE MEN DID.
THEY DIED. THREE
DRUNKEN FISHERMEN...
GOING SOMEPLACE THEY
HAD NO BUSINESS TO GO.
IS IT OUR FAULT THEY
IGNORED OUR WARNINGS?
THE AUTHORITIES WILL
NOT LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.
THE AUTHORITIES WILL NEVER KNOW.
EVERY FISHERMAN IN
THE VILLAGE KNOWS.
THEY WON'T TALK. WE PAY
THEM WELL FOR THEIR HELP.
- THEY SHARE IN THE GUILT
OF THESE DEATHS.
- LARS, PLEASE.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING
I'M ASHAMED OF!
WE ARE MAKING A GREAT
CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE.
ARE WE TO THROW IT AWAY JUST
BECAUSE OF SOME IDIOTIC ACCIDENT?
THESE EXPERIMENTS MADE SENSE
IN THE BEGINNING, BUT NOT ANYMORE.
THIS MONSTER MUST BE DESTROYED,
OR I'LL GO TO THE POLICE.
SO.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? WILL
YOU GO TO THE POLICE TOO?
YOU ARE MY HUSBAND.
I WILL DESTROY IT... AFTER
MY WORK IS COMPLETED,
NOT BEFORE.
LARS IS RIGHT. THE
FISHERMEN ARE FRIGHTENED.
I'VE HEARD THEM TALKING.
OH, UNCLE, I LOVE YOU. I
FEEL EVERYTHING YOU FEEL.
PLEASE DON'T GO TO THE POLICE.
HE IS MY HUSBAND.
ALL RIGHT. I WON'T TELL.
SIT DOWN, GENTLEMEN. SIT DOWN.
WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IS SO
FANTASTIC, I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT MYSELF,
BUT I'VE TESTED AND RETESTED
AND THE RESULTS ARE INDISPUTABLE.
THIS VILE CONTAINS A DERIVATIVE
OF PITUITARY GONADOTROPIN...
EXTRACTED FROM THE TENTACLE
YOU FOUND IN THE FJORD.
IT'S A MANUFACTURED PRODUCT...
USED MAINLY TO PROMOTE
THE GROWTH OF CELLS,
SO, IT'S MORE THAN
POSSIBLE THAT OUR MONSTER
IS THE RESULT OF
SOMEONE'S EXPERIMENTATION.

SEAVIEW OUT. [Hangs Up Receiver]
THAT'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR
QUESTION ABOUT ANY SUBSCRIBERS...
TO SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS
IN THIS VICINITY.
THERE'S ONE LIVING
RIGHT HERE IN TANA.
- OSKAR DALGREN.
- OSKAR DALGREN. I KNOW THE NAME.
HE HAS TO BE AN OLD MAN NOW. HE
WAS PRETTY IMPORTANT AT ONE TIME.
HE DISAPPEARED, I THINK,
ABOUT, UH, TEN YEARS AGO.
WHAT'S HE DOING IN
THIS FORSAKEN SPOT?
WE'LL SOON FIND OUT. LET'S SEE.
DALGREN... OSKAR
DALGREN. YEAH. HERE WE ARE.
DALGREN'S LAST PAPER TO
THE ROYAL SCIENCE ACADEMY...
WAS ON THE GERMINATION AND
CROSSBREEDING OF MARINE LIFE.
HE AND A MAN NAMED "LARS MATTSON"
ACTUALLY MADE SOME EXPERIMENTS.
HIS THESIS WAS THAT
UNDER PROPER BREEDING,
THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH SEA LIFE TO FEED
THE ENTIRE WORLD AT AN INFINITESIMAL COST.
THAT'S A PRETTY ADMIRABLE THESIS, BUT
HOW DOES IT TIE IN WITH THE SEA MONSTER?
I'M BEGINNING TO GET A VAGUE IDEA, IF
WE FIND DALGREN, WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER.
OSKAR DALGREN.
DALGREN? OSKAR DALGREN?
I KNOW NO ONE BY
THAT NAME IN TOWN.
WE HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT HE DOES
LIVE HERE. YOU MIGHT AS WELL TELL US...
BECAUSE WE'LL FIND
OUT EVENTUALLY.
YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN, GENTLEMEN.
THERE IS NO ONE BY THAT NAME IN TANA.
[Nelson] ALL RIGHT. HAVE
IT YOUR WAY, MY FRIEND,
BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE
HIM, TELL HIM I'M LOOKING FOR HIM...
AND THAT I KNOW ALL
ABOUT HIS EXPERIMENTS.
[Man Speaking Norwegian]
[Speaking Norwegian]
THAT WAS A WILD SHOT. I KNOW,
BUT IF IT ISN'T TRUE,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF IT IS, IT SHOULD START
THINGS MOVING PRETTY FAST.
DALGREN PICKED A COZY
HIDEAWAY ALL RIGHT.
A MAN COULD DISAPPEAR
FOREVER UP HERE.
ARE YOU PRETTY SURE HE'S HERE
IN TANA AND STILL EXPERIMENTING?
WELL, A SCIENTIST LIKE
DALGREN DOESN'T VEGETATE.
THERE'S AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE
THAT KEEPS DRIVING MEN LIKE HIM.
I'VE GOT AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE
TO GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW...
AND JUMP INTO A TALL, HOT DRINK.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, LEE?
[Exhales] THAT WAS TOO
CLOSE FOR COMFORT.
GET AN AWFUL
HEADACHE FROM THAT ONE.
SOMEONE HAD JUST THAT IN MIND.
[Gunshot]
YOU SURE FLUSHED A LOT
OF ACTION OUT IN THAT PUB.
THAT WASN'T QUITE WHAT I
WAS THINKING OF. [Gunshot]
NOW LOOK, WE'RE SITTING
DUCKS HERE, ADMIRAL.
I'M GONNA SCOUT AROUND HERE
AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
THERE'S PLENTY OF COVER THAT
WAY. NOW DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.
OKAY.
- DALGREN!
- [Gunshot]
[Grunting]
HE'S ALL YOURS, ADMIRAL.
WHO SENT YOU? DALGREN?
NO! I KNOW NO DALGREN.
WHY WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL US?
ANSWER THE QUESTION. WHY
WERE YOU SHOOTING AT US?
A MAN HIRED ME... A STRANGER.
HE TOLD ME TO FRIGHTEN YOU AWAY.
FRIGHTEN US? YOU
ALMOST MURDERED US.
I'M A CRACK SHOT. I
SAY ONLY FRIGHTEN.
I DO NOT KILL.
WE WON'T GET ANY
MORE OUT OF HIM, LEE.
MAYBE THE AUTHORITIES
WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK...
LET HIM GO, LEE!
[Sighs] WELL, NOW WHAT?
WELL, WE'VE COUNTERED THEIR FIRST
MOVE. LET'S SEE WHAT THEY TRY NEXT.
COME ON.
[Growling]
[Mouths Word]
YOU TAKE LOTS OF CHANCES
GOING DOWN THERE THAT WAY.
I RATHER ENJOY IT.
BESIDES, MY CHILD MUST BE FED.
I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD BE MORE
CAREFUL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
SIGRID.
ADMIRAL NELSON KNOWS ABOUT MY
UNCLE AND THE EXPERIMENTS, LARS.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
DOES YOUR UNCLE KNOW? NO.
GOOD. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT
ADMIRAL NELSON FOUND OUT,
BUT AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE TWO OF
THEM APART, WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
ADMIRAL NELSON WILL
BE OUT OF HERE IN A WEEK.
I GIVE YOU MY WORD.
DEAR SIGRID, IT WON'T BE TOO MUCH
LONGER... JUST A FEW MORE MONTHS.
YOU'LL AGREE IT WAS WORTH IT.
YOU WON'T BE SORRY. I PROMISE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M COLD. I...
I HAVE NO FEELING. I'M SHRIVELED
INSIDE. DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
SIGRID, I TOLD YOU. I'VE DONE
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.
I EXPLAINED ALL THAT.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?
WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT? FROM ROLVAAG'S BED.
LARS, YOU KILLED HIM.
I COULDN'T TAKE A CHANCE. I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE KNEW OR SAW.
I HAD TO DO IT.
NOTHING IS GOING TO
STAND IN MY WAY. NOTHING.
AND NO ONE. I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
SIGRID, THIS HASN'T
BEEN EASY FOR ME,
BUT I CAN'T JUST THROW
AWAY YEARS OF WORK.
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
I'LL TRY.
IF DALGREN EVER FINDS
OUT ABOUT ROLVAAG...

DEAR ADMIRAL NELSON.
YOU MIGHT SAY THE PUPIL
HAS OUTSTRIPPED THE MASTER.
AND THIS IS MY
ASSISTANT, OTTO HASSLER.
UH, HE WAS THE BAIT
THAT LED YOU HERE.
YOU'RE QUITE A PSYCHOLOGIST.
I FELT SURE ANY FELLOW SCIENTIST
WOULD BE FASCINATED WITH MY LABORATORY.
HERE.
HERE. I'VE CROSSBRED
ONE OF THE CYPRINIDAE...
A FISH OF IMPORTANCE TO HUMAN BEINGS
BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY GIVES THEM FOOD,
BUT IS THE SOURCE FOR
CERTAIN RARE CHEMICALS.
NOW, CROSSING HIM WITH
ONE OF THE PYGOCENTRUS
VARIETIES... A GREAT
FIGHTING FISH...
I HAVE MADE HIM MORE THAN A MATCH
FOR THOSE WHO WOULD DEVOUR HIM.
THAT'S VERY
INTERESTING. BASIC. SIMPLE.
IN A FEW MONTHS...
WEEKS, EVEN...
I WILL HAVE THE ANSWER
TO MARINE-LIFE GROWTH.
I WILL LITERALLY BE ABLE TO CREATE
ANY FORM OF LIFE TO ANY SIZE I DESIRE.
SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN WORKING
ON THAT THEORY FOR YEARS.
IT WILL BE QUITE AN
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
IT WILL BE THE GREATEST STEP
FORWARD IN MARINE BIOLOGY.
MY NAME WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!
YOU KEEP REFERRING TO
YOUR NAME, YOUR WORK.
HOW DOES OSKAR
DALGREN FIT INTO ALL THIS?
OSKAR DALGREN...
IS A GOOD SCIENTIST,
BUT HE IS AN OLD MAN,
A-A TORTOISE... TOO BAD.
BUT YOU WILL GIVE HIM
CREDIT FOR WHAT HE'S DONE.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT
IS ALL MINE, ADMIRAL.
WHAT I DID I DID WITH MY
OWN BRAIN AND NO ONE ELSE'S.
I SUPPOSE IT'S HARD FOR A MAN IN
YOUR POSITION TO UNDERSTAND...
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN THE SHADOW
OF SOMEONE ELSE'S GREATNESS,
TO SEE HIM GET THE ACCLAIM
THAT SHOULD BE YOURS.
OSKAR DALGREN DID
THAT TO ME FOR YEARS.
YOU'VE YET TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR SEA FREAK.
NOW YOU BRING ME TO THE
CRUX OF WHY I WANTED YOU HERE.
I WANTED NOT ONLY TO
SHOW YOU MY CREATIONS,
I WANTED YOU ACTUALLY
TO BE A PART OF THEM.
THE SEAVIEW IS YOUR
CREATION, ADMIRAL.
THE "SEA FREAK," AS YOU
CHOOSE TO CALL IT, IS MINE.
I HAVE NEVER HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY...
OF TESTING ITS RESISTANCES
AGAINST MODERN WEAPONS.
THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SUBMARINE IN
THE FJORD GIVES ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.
YOU'RE GAMBLING WITH THE LIVES
OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED MEN.
I REGRET THAT, ADMIRAL, BUT
EVENTUALLY MILLIONS WILL BENEFIT.
I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO
COME HERE, ADMIRAL.
YOUR PRESENCE HERE ENDANGERS MY
WORK. NOW YOU LEAVE ME NO ALTERNATIVE.

YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.

THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SORRY FOR.

TO SEE MY CREATION.
YOUR MONSTER.
I'M LETTING IT OUT OF ITS CAVE.
OH, NO. OH, YES. YES.
WITH THE ADMIRAL'S
SUBMARINE IN THE FJORD,
IT SHOULD BE A MOST
ENLIGHTENING EXPERIMENT.
YOU MUST BE COMPLETELY INSANE.
YOU MURDERED ROLVAAG. YOU
SMOTHERED HIM IN HIS SLEEP.
SO... YOU TOLD HIM.
YOU NEVER TRIED TO UNDERSTAND.
NO MATTER. HAVE THEM FOLLOW
ME DOWN BELOW... AND WATCH THEM.
COME ON. MOVE.

GOING TO DO WITH US?
I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS.
THEY'LL NEVER LET US OUT OF HERE.
